READING:
1) Ways of Seeing - John Berger
I liked the reading for this week because it was interesting to hear how deep the meaning of seeing and observing something can actually go. I think the quote 'Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak.' is a very helpful quote to help understand seeing as a whole. I thought that the way he had put photos in and then referred to what was happening in the picture helpful and insightful.
As we discussed the reading in our workshop with my peers, it intrigued me as to how others found certain parts of it interesting. Berger talks about how the moment of realisation that we can see and what we can see is knowing the present. He says: 'Soon after we can see, we are aware that we can also be seen.' This stood out to me as sometimes we can get lost in visualisation and really concentrate on what we can personally see but then forget how others can see yourself.
